We are redoing one of our applications, and I wanted a quick sync

5.10.0 did not work due to a bug in the Perl base. Are there any
issues we need to be aware of for 5.12.0 or should we stick with
5.10.x (x greater than or equal to 1)?
My recommendation is to ignore the 5.10.x series, and go straight to
5.12.1+ if you want the newest production version, or use 5.8.x if you
want to support older Perls. The 5.12.x and 5.10.x were released close
enough together, and the 5.12.x benefit from the new and improved
development process of making a release every month regardless of how
much was changed. Also, 5.12.x improves some of the features that
5.10.x added, such as making smart matching and Unicode work better.
Speaking for myself, I'm using 5.12.1 in production and for my work
applications, and I'm using 5.8.1+ for my CPAN modules. -- Darren Duncan
Thanks. I seem to remember trying 5.12.0 and having some problems with
various builds of Cat dependencies.
I'll try 5.12.1 tonight and see how this goes.
Thanks!
Joe
